A Soldier's Recollections Leaves from the Diary of a Young Confederate, Annotated

This volume is widely recognized as one of the best Confederate memoirs by a dedicated and articulate Christian officer. McKim records his remarkable military career which included service in the artillery, infantry, and cavalry as a private, a staff officer, and finally as chaplain of the 2nd Virginia Cavalry. He was a man faithful to his country and lived a life every Christian young man can admire and emulate. In addition, the editor, an academic historian, has provided translation for some of the more obscure terminology (and Latin phrases) to make for easier reading. Many additional illustrations have been added to make history come alive.
